O'Dwyer Can Dodge Bullets
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nikita Kuznetsov opened the button and Steve O'Dwyer defended the big blind, then the chips piled in on the 10♥6♠9♥ flop, with O'Dwyer at risk for his stack of around 200,000.
Steve O'Dwyer: 9♦6♣ 
Nikita Kuznetsov: A♠A♦
O'Dwyer had out-flopped the aces of Kuznetsov, and the 2♠5♦ runout didn't change the board, which meant O'Dwyer doubled up. Kuznetsov has around 40,000 after that hand.
